FAQs
The E1016-8394 supports 2/0–4/0 AWG conductors. Prepare conductors by following standard stripping guidelines to expose sufficient copper for the brass contacts while avoiding nicking insulation. Use the double set screws to secure each conductor, ensuring solid torque without over-tightening. Proper conductor preparation minimizes resistance and prevents overheating at the contact points.
The E1016-8394 is rated up to 400 A continuous and supports 600 Vac/dc. This makes it ideal for high-current industrial applications such as motor drives, welding power feeds, and heavy equipment power distribution where reliable, high-current, multi-conductor connections are required.
Yes. The plug carries a NEMA 3R rating and is intended for Ordinary/Non-Hazardous locations, which supports outdoor and damp locations. When planning installations, ensure enclosures and mating receptacles align with Cam-Lok J Series specifications and follow appropriate weatherproofing practices.
The E1016-8394 adheres to NEC/CEC standards and carries a NEMA 3R rating. This alignment helps ensure compliance for non-hazardous industrial environments, supports safe outdoor installations, and simplifies regulatory approvals for power distribution equipment in manufacturing and process facilities.
The plug’s double set screws and robust brass contacts deliver secure mating with low resistance and reduced arcing, lowering maintenance needs. The TPE housing resists oils and chemicals, enhancing longevity. Together, these factors reduce downtime, extend service life, and lower long-term ownership costs in high-cycle or outdoor installations.
